What will Your 2024 look like? What are your 2024 New Year’s goals?
If you’re like many of your fellow musicians, songwriters, singers, producers and creatives, you’ve been dreaming of leaving your full-time job and leaping into making a full-time living doing what you love.
If you put your goals and dreams on pause because of the pandemic, that’s understandable. It’s been an incredibly tough year, but don’t let Covid-19 be your excuse to stay parked or give up entirely on your dreams in 2024.
2024 is the year for you to reset, buckle down and start putting feet to your dreams.
Believing that it’s possible for “YOU” is the first step.
So, after you believe in yourself, how do you get your songs placed in TV shows or make enough to pay your bills playing virtual house shows? You need the right mindset, mentors, information and tools.
Our world has changed radically. Who knows when we’ll be able to head back to church to sing or play in the choir. When will we be able to safely attend a live play or concert again?
As Music Creators and performers we’re having to adapt on the fly in this new “Quarantine” world. Being resourceful is key.

What are your dreams? What are your specific goals? If you haven’t done so, it’s time to put pen to paper.
Get Organized
We’re about to leave 2023 behind and run into 2024 with new goals, plans and creative ideas. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
It’s always good to take time to reflect on the last 12 months. Think about your accomplishments and your mistakes. Jot them down. Then take some time to write down 3 to 5 goals for 2024.
If you need some help getting organized for 2024, then a simple 2021 Printable Daily Planner would be great resource for you. This printable daily planner will help you plan for the upcoming year.

Get Rid of This
What comes up for most people, almost immediately, is that ugly four letter word, “FEAR.”
Fear does not have to control your life in this New Year!
FEAR DOES NOT CONTROL ME! |
You need tools to break down that fear and move forward anyway.
As a creative, you have to have a few tools to inspire you to move forward.
Get help with your Mindset, Vision and your Strategy to move forward in 2024.
